Summary:"This book undertakes an exploratory exercise in what we call postcolonial criminology; by which we mean criminology that places the colonial matrix of power at the centre of inquiry. While the substance of the book is concerned with criminal justice in settler colonies, the issues raised have wider relevance as they are concerned with the challenges posed for criminology, and kindred disciplines of the Anglo-sphere, by a new era where racialised forms of social control are reshaping criminal justice across the globe. This era, however, is also marked by the growing strength and resilience of countervailing forces from outside the Anglo-sphere who are intent on dismantling colonial structures of power."--Page 1.
